• PJ Hide-a-Way

  Toddlers never tire of stashing things away in odd corners and crevices. I’ve found everything from tupperware tops to drum sticks tucked neatly in my couch cushions. Maybe this “pillow” will make PJ time a bit more fun. (Right now it involves a lot of kicking and carrying on.) Read More...

• An Elephant's Backside Can Be Pretty Cute

  I always appreciate a little babywear humor--as long as it doesn't venture too far into the world of poo jokes. This elephant and bird bodysuit from Craftsbury Kids (on sale for $12.95) works for me. Available in the 6-12 month size, the bodysuit is screenprinted by hand on an American Apparel onesie (meaning it runs a little small).

• D.I.Y. Elephant Light With or Without Feet

  There's really not too much to do to get this elephant lamp ready for action. The Polypropelene pachyderm is delivered flat and you simply fold the flaps according to the directions for the finished shape above (amusingly ready for folding by either left- or right-handed folks). You'll need to specify U.S. or E.U. voltage for your cord and supply the lightbulb yourself. Read More...

• Handmade Stuffed Animals

  If you're looking for a special, one-of-a-kind type of stuffed animal, check these out. Handmade by Israeli artists, Unica Home is selling these stuffed ducks, bunnies and elephants in all different colors.

• My Sweet Muffin's Big Ear Elephant Ready for Snuggles

  What could be a better lovey than a soft, fleece elephant with ears big enough to stand in for blankie corners? I can't think of a single thing. My Sweet Muffin offers their Big Ear Elephant in two-tone blue or yellow for $33. At 21" long it's a pillow, friend, and all-around playtime prop. Just the right size for showing scale in those week-to-week or month-to-month baby photos, too, come to think of it....

• Petit Jour Elmer Elephant's in the Bath, Too

  Earlier today I became enamored of this Elmer dinnerware, but now I've found something else I might love even more. Behold the Elmer Elephant squirting bath toy! Just as adorable as everything else Elmer, this one would be an excellent passive-aggressive gift for the new parent you just don't like very much. ("Oh, Junior got you all wet again? Wow, sorry to hear that.") $22 at Tiddley Widdley. Posted Nov 20 2007, 04:04 PM by Mir with | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: bathtime, elephants, elmer, tiddley widdley, squirt toys

• Attention Elephant Fans: Petit Jour Elmer Dish Set

  Elmer is a patchwork elephant. While your toddler will likely still throw most of his food on the floor while eating from this Elmer dish set from Petit Jour ($38 at Tiddley Widdley), he's likely to be a lot more cheerful while doing so. I mean, how could he not be?   Posted Nov 20 2007, 12:01 PM by Mir with | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: dining, dish set, elephants, petit jour, elmer, tiddley widdley

• Squeeze Those Manhattan Toy Ka Ching A Lings

  I'm a sucker for a piggy bank that isn't actually a pig. The Ka Ching A Lings from Manhattan Toy ramp the cute factor up to 11 both by being other animals and by being plush and cuddly. These would make great shower gifts, and they're totally affordable -- $14.99 apiece at Amazon, choose from the dog or the elephant.  Posted Nov 19 2007, 04:02 PM by Mir with | with no comments Filed under: piggy banks, gifts, elephants, manhattan toy, ka ching a ling, puppies

• Taggies Grabby Elephant Confusing but Cuddly

  Oh, look, another Taggies toy. It's the Taggies grabby elephant ($15.95 from Amazon). I love Taggies! And I love elephants! So naturally I just love... wait a second. Does this elephant have a... cage for a stomach? And inside there is... a mouse? Because elephants... ummm... eat mice? My brain hurts.

• Droolworthy: bObles Romping Animals

  If money were no object, I'd fill a room with these bObles romping animals and celebrate the "furniture as playthings" concept wholeheartedly. Right now you can pre-order from the myriad of choices at Urban Kids Play for shipping in late October; six animals and various colors from which to choose, $32 to $129 depending on your selection. And then? Sit, stand, rock, build -- whatever your kids can dish out, these animals can take.

• Why Settle for a Cuckoo Clock When You Could Do a Coo Clock?

  I can't think of anyone sane who would put a cuckoo clock in a nursery, but these darling Coo Clocks ($49.95 each from Luna Baby Products) are tempting. They come in a variety of animals -- Elle DeVilla in the EleCoo Clock is shown above -- and each one makes the appropriate animal sounds on the hour. Fortunately, a light sensor silences the animal within when the room is dark. (Otherwise, this would make an excellent baby gift for someone you hate. Pity.)

• Hand Made: Elephant Handbag Lets You Pack a Pachyderm

  If she's nutty about elephants, she'll want this hand-felted elephant handbag from Chasing Fireflies. An elephant topped by all kinds of pompoms? Heaven. Of course, at $48 I'd be studying the design and then gluing my own pompoms to an old slipper or something, and I'd burn myself with the glue gun and swear a lot and end up with something hideous-looking and wonder why she's crying about it, and... okay, maybe you're better off just buying one.   Posted Sep 29 2007, 09:01 AM by Mir with | with 2 comment(s) Filed under: hand made, felt, purse, elephants, chasing fireflies
